♡ HI, it's been a while. Our club has been on hiatus for over 2 years, mostly due to COVID and adjusting to life since then. I'm pleased to bring news about us opening a discord server and migrating everything we had from the club to the server. I hope to make it more interactable with this and build a small community again. In case this all seems unfamiliar, the main purpose of our small community was to gather and chat about Boys Love (the genre) and give each other recommendations, have lists of different types of BL and now we've expanded into Manhwa & Manhua. To join the server, feel free to click on the banner or below where it says "SERVER LINK". The link expires in 7 days, if you need a new one feel free to DM me! I hope to see you there! ♡

Haha no problem. But just as a heads up, if you get through that and think there is nothing more, I am rather picky when it comes to romance so there are actually quite a few great romance that I have never read. Basically if it is A) On-Going B) On indefinite Hiatus C) A love triangle D) Tragedy E) All about the "chase" (i.e. manga covers the period before they are dating up until they actually start dating) or F) New (just haven't read any romance lately, plus trying to avoid starting new series, so usually avoid newer works) I probably haven't read it and therefore never gets included in my list. So there are plenty more out there that I haven't read in case you ever need more.
Haha, not at all, anyways a few I could recommend are:
- Ai wo Choudai! (Josei, A rather refreshing (and short, sadly, I think they rushed the ending tbh) josei series, definitely a good read if you have a couple of hours to kill)
- B Gata H Kei (Seinen, This is actually a 4-koma (style of manga usually used in comedy), and is more of a romantic comedy. It isn't too dramatic and has a very loose plot but the romance is okay if you like the style. I would say that it is a very light hearted romance without too much drama (the only "drama" is more comedy than drama))
- B.O.D.Y. (Shoujo, A mediocre stereotypical shoujo series, I would say that it is okay if you have nothing better to read, but honestly doesn't stand out. It isn't terrible, but it doesn't really do anything "well" either. I thought I might toss it out there since it is a longer series (and I like longer series), however it isn't something I would typically recommend, nor is it one I would recommend checking out first)
- Boku ni Natta Watashi (Shoujo, A rather short and light hearted romance series. Kind of liked the plot, even if it isn't too original (girl has to pretend to be her brother and attend the prestigious all boy boarding school he got into when he decided to run away), it isn't "great" but it is a nice read if you have an afternoon and nothing to do)
- Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu (Shoujo, dramatic!, honestly this is one of those that is out of my interest zone, the type of drama as well as the set-up aren't exactly my preference, however it was okay. I would say that the drama bit was kind of frustrating (and not done too well) however overall I think I gave the manga like a 6)
- Dengeki Daisy (Shoujo, This was one of the first Shoujo I read so I honestly can't remember too much about it but given its popularity I thought I would at least mention it. Having said that this is also probably one that isn't one of my "favorites" but probably worth checking out at some point)
- Gokusen (Josei, This is actually a romantic comedy with very little romance just as a heads up. Having said that I really liked the male lead character and the story was pretty entertaining. However I would say that the romance isn't really that major in this series (not even sure if it was "conclusive" or not))
- Goong (Shoujo, Another rather frustratingly dramatic series. In fact the major reason I read this one was due to the length however unless you like a lot of drama I wouldn't pick it up. It had its good moments but overall it wasn't "great" by any means. I just thought I would mention it)
- Hapi Mari: Happy Marriage!? (Josei, It has been a really long time since I read this so I can't remember all of it however if I recall correctly it was actually a rather nice read. I would say that the plot wasn't too focused (meaning it was kind of more slice of life style rather than going from point A to B). It isn't one of my favorites but it is definitely a better one)
- Hibi Chouchou (Shoujo, This is one of the more recent series I have read, and while it is a shoujo it isn't really your stereotypical shoujo. I would say that it is more "cutesy", with very little drama and two very shy protagonists. Overall I think I liked it but it again wasn't "great")
- Himitsu no Ai-chan (Shoujo, Now from what I had read at the time, this was shaping up to be a very good series in my opinion. I really enjoyed the pacing and characters . . . However at the time I read it there were only a few chapters out and scanlations seemed to be slow, extremely slow. I haven't checked back in awhile so I have no idea what the status of the scans for this series are now)
- Hiyokoi (Shoujo, A rather cutesy manga with the female lead being shy / unconfident and the "bright and popular" male lead kind of lifting her up. Very similar to Kimi ni Todoke in that regard. I would say between the two I prefer this one more, its a good read if you don't mind the very shy / slow type of romantic development. Not amazing but definitely worth checking out)
- Horimiya (Shounen, Love this series. I haven't read it in awhile but I'm sure it has gotten better (I hope it hasn't gotten worse), it is published in a Shounen magazine but I think it is actually more of a Shoujo. Having said that, I do love the art and the characters are very refreshing. Overall I highly recommend checking this one out)
- Kaikan Phrase (Shoujo, This is a longer Shoujo Smut, I actually typically like Smut when it doesn't go overboard since in smut the main couple get together really quickly, however . . . I would say that this manga is an example of why Smut usually fails in terms of plot. It is very repetitive / not too interesting. I'm actually more just tossing this out there as one to "look into" for the genre, the series itself I think I gave a 5)
- Kare First Love (Shoujo, another series like B.O.D.Y., just a longer shoujo romance, not really something that "stands out", but an okay read if you have nothing else to read and just need to kill some time. Now like B.O.D.Y., I actually don't remember too much about the plot other than that I thought it was "okay", so can't really comment on if it was repetitive or not)
- Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (Shoujo, Not one of my favorites but definitely a good series. It is rather long however it is not repetitive and deals a lot with the characters themselves (what they are going through internally), a pretty good series overall)
- Kimi wa Pet (Josei, One of my favorite romance manga. This series revolves around a business women who deals with the pressure of having to keep up this "perfect" facade in her life, and right as everything in her life seems to be going wrong she meets the male lead who is at the time homeless. Now the title roughly translates to "You are my pet", however I would like to clarify that this isn't referring to some sexual relationship or anything too weird. Essentially he becomes sort of like her support, she can be herself in front of him, and he sits there and listens to her (like a pet), while she provides food and shelter. Now both characters are very unique and the plot is neither repetitive nor random, so it gets solid marks from me on both of these points. But what I really loved was the "atmosphere" of the series. It has a sort of "melancholy" atmosphere while at the same time is almost light hearted / comedic due to the male lead. Overall this is a great series and despite it not being a "perfect fit" with my interests (won't go into that since that will be a slight spoiler), it was able to be one of my favorites)
- Koharu no Hibi (Seinen, What romance list wouldn't be complete without a yandere right? Well . . . Fortunately it never gets "too extreme", however the female MC is definitely a yandere. This is a rather short series and can be somewhat enjoyable if that doesn't creep you out too much. Overall not too "great" but I still enjoyed it)
- Love So Life (Shoujo, I really like this series, however that is probably helped by the fact that this series focuses on child rearing (Dunno why but like these types of series, they are typically very warm hearted), As far as the romance goes however, it is very slow and not really the major plot point (at least from as far as I read, however it definitely was picking up), so I would say this is a good series but maybe not the best romance to read given how sparse it is)
- Lovely★Complex (Shoujo, The romance is SLOW at first in this series, and it is actually a very "innocent" manga, or perhaps it would be better to say "less mature", so while it isn't as awkwardly shy as Kimi ni Todoke or Hiyokoi, it isn't far off. Having said that, this is a very good romantic comedy, and while it isn't one of my "favorites" it is one I highly recommend, especially if you like longer romance manga)
- Midnight Secretary (Josei, This is an example of a Josei smut, it perhaps is a bit "cheesy" at times however the overall story isn't too bad if you can get past it. I actually liked this one however since it is a smut that doesn't mean as much (you could say I lower the bar when its a smut since you just expect less from it from the get go))
- Orange (Shoujo, So this is a rather interesting manga . . . It was actually really popular but put on indefinite hiatus when the author and the magazine company got into a fight ending with her quitting. I actually haven't read it since she started it up again, but from what I had read it was actually a very good series. Definitely worth reading, and perhaps could even become one of my favorites (depending on the ending, I will say right now that their is a chance this could be a tragedy))
- Orange Yane no Chiisana Ie (Seinen, A pretty good romance that has a rather interesting set-up. It honestly sounds like some sitcom, it starts off with a recently divorced mother wither her two daughters, and a recently divorced father with his two sons, getting scammed into buying the same house. It works out however as they slowly learn to live together due to the fact that the father has been a businessman and has no idea about housework and the mother was a "stay at home mom" so she has no idea about where to get a job. The only complain I would have is that it has some rather "meh" type of drama (misunderstandings), but overall definitely worth checking out)
- Sora Log (Shoujo, The author for this series actually has a way of giving her series a rather "unique" atmosphere, it is kind of hard to explain. Overall the series isn't too original however it is still very enjoyable, and if you like this piece I would highly recommend checking out some of the author's other works, I have read two of her other works and they are very similar in terms of atmosphere)
- Spicy Pink (Josei, Honestly I really enjoyed this series . . . Right up until it randomly rushed the ending and finished. So I would say this had the potential to be a "good series" but then seemed to have a very rushed ending and not quite sure why. Given that it is relatively short I would recommend reading it)
- Taiyou no Ie (Shoujo, Another one of the more "recent" shoujo I have read (just goes to show the last time I checked out more recent works, definitely need to go through new shoujo again at some point), Anyways, I actually only read the first 3 chapters (since that was all that was out at the time), however a friend of mine has told me that it is great so I would definitely recommend checking it out)
- Yokujou Climax (Shoujo, Just as kind of a reference, here is one of the "better" smut I have read in terms of actually having a consistent plot. My one word of warning though is that the drama is sort of "intense", not "twisted" but definitely intense.)
- Koe no Katachi (Shounen, Felt I should mention this manga, I myself have never read (although I plan to), however it is immensely popular among romance fans apparently, so while I can't myself say it is "good", given the number of people who love it I think it is safe to assume it is)
